I Michael Doyle of Bowdoin in the County of Lin- coln & State of Maine aged seventy five years on oath declare that I was well acquainted with Jotham Doyle of Harpswell in the County of Cumberland, Maine. He was a revolutionary soldier and served as I understood at the time in the years 1777, 1778 & 1779 according to my best recollection. I remember the time when it was said he had enlisted as I think for three years, & that he was afterward absent for the term of his enlistment & said to be in the continental service & I have no doubt of the fact.
I was present at the marriage of the said Jotham Doyle to Huldah Randall of said Harpswell; it was solemnized by the Rev d Samuel Dator, a Congregational ordained minister settled at said Harpswell; and as I nearly believe took place in the year 1784, in the winter. Mrs. Huldah Doyle now of Bowdoin aforesaid and a claimant for a pension, is the same person & has remained his widow ever since the death of the said Jotham which took place long ago, but I do not remember in what year, but more than forty years.

J. A. Bedwards Esq
Sir,
I have your favor of December 3 rd relating to Huldah Doyle's application for a pension under the act of July 7. 1838 in which you say: "The name of Jonathan Doyle is not borne on the roll of Capt Lane in Col. Alden's regiment or that of any other company in the Mass. line. There is a Jonathan Dyall in that company, whose service corresponds with that described by the witnesses, but that documentary proof cannot ensue to the claimant, unless it is most satisfactorily established that there was no Jonathan Doyle or Dyall in Lane's company and that the name was so pronounced as to lead to a different mode of spelling;"
I now enclose a supplementary deposition of Thomas Brimington, which I presume will be satisfactory as to the identity of the husband of the petitioner. No doubts exist amongst those acquainted with the family, as to the justice of the claim.
Very respectfully, Owen Dyer

Hulan's regiment there was no man in said Company either of the name Jonathan Doyle or Jonathan Dyall, and if there had been any person of that name I should have known it at any time during the period specified in my former deposition. I further declare that I well know the said Jonathan Doyle or Dyall as stated in my former deposition, and that his name was usually pronounced the same, as if spelt Dyall or Dyle . How his name was then spelt, I cannot now recollect, but I have known the said Jonathan family relations & others of the same name, since, and the name is generally spelt Doyle, but pronounced Dyall or Dyle, as often as any way. I cannot be mistaken in the person as being the same Jonathan Doyle with whom I have been intimately acquainted, and who was frequently in my mess.
